Construction & Industrial Recruitment

I joined CareerLink as a Trainee Recruitment Consultant from a warehouse & sales background. I manage numerous companies throughout the UK within the industrial and construction sectors.I aim to provide the best customer service for my clients by supplying the most fitting, strong & suitable candidates.

Predominantly based in the office making outbound calls to potential customers/ buyers of diesel supplies. My role is to initiate sales with business owners in the UK for the fuel purchasing of their company vehicles. I am one of the top sellers within the organisation by smashing KPI’s and showing my worth from day one by bringing in account after account for the company. I am a very up front kind of character, very approachable, likable and talkative and have shown that I can sell to above and beyond even the standards I thought possible before I entered a sales role. I am quite accustomed to the use of CRM on a daily basis for all of my leads/ calls. I like to think of my workload as a funnel, the work I put in; the more sales I will gain.

My daily tasks include selling to the public who have a demand for Flue Systems within the UK. As a final checker, I am the last person to check all the products before they are boxed up and ready to be distributed nationally. I am set weekly targets that I achieve each week. I am also responsible for the picking, packing and distribution of products to customers throughout the UK. Based on the Trade Counter, I am the main point of call when dealing with customer enquiries of collections. I advise customers on what items would be best suited for the system they are trying to fit; whether is be for a home or a large college. I issue drivers with their correct loads and make sure that all products have been correctly checked and are ready to be dispatched to the allocated areas. Using the computer systems at work to finalize paperwork for the drivers and incoming customers is a daily necessity, so that stock values increase/ decrease accordingly and receipts or delivery notes are issued correctly. Till operations, discounts, VAT, car machines are also part of my daily tasks as well as pushing more sales through for the company.

Responsible for maintaining a busy high street store alongside team members and management to the highest level.Main duties included till operations, product promotions, stock merchandising within the correct departments, cross-referencing of new deliveries, basic stockroom duties and ensuring cleanliness throughout the store. Constantly on alert due to the high volume of shoplifters within the area. Hitting targets was the main task within the company I became really good at promotional selling and was also allocated to another branch to boost their sales within their store.Excellent selling standards within the store on optional promotional products based on personal performance. This heightened my selling techniques and allowed me increased hours at another branch.

Achieving daily set targets was the main focus within the company to keep up with demand within the public sector. Machines and robots were also checked before each shift so that each part manufactured was up to the correct standards for distribution. The spraying of bumpers and other components was undertaken throughout my duration when they weren't thoroughly painted when processed after manufacturing.I had the pleasure of working on most of the machines within the company because of my maximum output of productivity. This heightened my skills while running them and gave me the opportunity to fix machines on my own accord without assistance.

Day-to-day running of a busy home care sector business which dealt with vulnerable adults and clients alike. Duties included taking incoming calls from Staff, Service Users and Social Services. I took referrals from Social Services around the Walsall region for clients on a daily basis and cross-referenced our availability with my senior management. All details had to be perfect as it gave staff an insight into what the client would be like and what their needs were; effective communication was the corner stone of the business.Computerized office documents were devised by me within the company using all Microsoft products to keep up with the ever changing alterations of paperwork. Application forms and client packs were immediately put together upon receipt of a new client or staff member in the right order, with the correct forms in place.Letters of success and regret regarding positions within the company were also one my tasks and they had to be sealed and posted at the end of each working day as well as backing up all files and the dealing of petty cash. Computer files were updated every week whether it was staff, clients or invoices and then backed up onto discs for the security of all individuals. CRB’s had to be done regular to keep in line with upcoming work. General filing was done daily and documents were always placed in date order. I processed invoices weekly ready for their dispatch to clients. Excellent attention to detail was a priority and multitasking was always at the forefront of a day’s work.I attended disciplinary meetings and took notes on everything mentioned within the meeting as a backup for my manager. I was also given the opportunity to attend courses mentioned at the bottom that strengthened my awareness within the company and its aims.
